So, how do I know if I’m a legalist? Here is a simple test, consisting of five questions.
1. Do you place a higher value on church customs than on biblical principles?
2. Do you elevate to the status of moral law something the Bible does not require?
3. Do you tend to look down your spiritual nose at those who don’t follow God’s will for YOUR life?
4. Are you uncomfortable with the fact that the Bible does not explicitly address every ethical decision or answer every theological question?
5. Are you more comfortable with rules than with relationships?
